Description: Catalogue documenting Kindler's body of work entitled "Consume". In 2006 Kindler created over 40 mixed media paintings and sculptural installations and 25 large scale conceptural photographs (entitled "Consuming Youth) dealing with the impact of consumerism on our lives.  Kindler tackles the every day things that form our conceptions of ourselves and our environment, underlining what we "choose" or "not choose" to become as individuals.  The inherent struggle of individuation is met head on with the reality of the programmed living we are subjected to through advertising, merchandising and the mores of our time.  Through this work Kindler presents a view of life that reveals our consumer culture today. The work was exhibited in January 2007 in two concurrent solo exhibitions: Mixed Media Paintings an Sculptural Installations at Woodside/Braseth Gallery in Seattle and the large scale, conceptual photography at COCA. A review of the work and essay was written by Daniel Kany.

Defining Truth, Judith Kindler

Introduction and Interview by Stefano Catalani, (Curator of the Bellevue Art Museum)   8" X 8 " / Soft Bound / 84 Pages / 86 full color images / Published by Atelier 31 LLC., 2004  

Description: Catalogue documenting Kindler's body of work entitled "Defining Truth". Between October, 2002 and March 2004, Kindler created over 60 pieces in a single series which was divided among a solo exhibition at Atelier 31 Gallery in Seattle in October, 2003, a group exhibition at Anne Reed Gallery in Ketchum ( Sun Valley ), Idaho in December, 2003, and a solo exhibition at Anne Reed Gallery in March, 2004. This figurative mixed media collection of work represents the first major series of work where Kindler has used photography directly as an integral part of the work rather than merely as a reference. The photograph, developed and painted digitally, is combined with oil painting and layered under encaustic mixing "New Media" with one of the oldest Medias (encaustic). There is also a chronology of selected works leading up to this series.

Reviewed by Mat Gleason, COAGULA ART JOURNAL, October 04, 2004 –

“I get a lot of exhibition catalogs. This one is one of the best. Kindler’s encaustic paintings are reproduced well. An encaustic painting reproduced usually looks like a fuzzy something, but these retain the feel to them and still look crisp. So Atelier 31 has its Tech down. The artist combines interesting materials with psychologically stark images. There is a confrontation going on in most of her work. Symbolism simplified in presentation but still loaded and aimed right at the viewer. Will go: I’ve got one big box of good catalogs and like three boxes of ehhh catalogs. It is going in the first and then on to eBay when she gets famous.”
